Killed the franchise so much that the original game has been remastered twice, the second game once, and a TV series has been made out of it…?

Killed so much that the video game franchise has been killed off and they had to make a remake of the original game using Part II’s assets and mechanics to recoup the financial damage to the brand and the saga will never see a conclusion outside of maybe the HBO show.

I imagine most game IPs wish they could be as killed off as TLOU.

Yeah, doesn’t change the fact though - it was Sony’s flagship from their oldest most well known first party studio and it effectively got cancelled and pawned off to HBO to be milked on a budget.
Most movie franchises wish they could be Star Wars but it doesn’t change the fact the sequel trilogy did immense and obvious damage to the brand due (primarily) to the controversy, though in that case those movies actually also sucked which I’m sure didn’t help things. TLOU Part 2 on the other hand was by no means as awful as any of the sequel trilogy SW flicks.
